Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?

55% Answer Correctly

acid

alkaline

base

solution


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

100

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)

In the foood chain, producers serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through:

47% Answer Correctly

photosynthesis

autotrophs

chemosynthesis

decomposition


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis

Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

AB

AO

O

B


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
